Lujan Grisham’s office issued a statement following a press conference in which Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that a live lead round was in the gun that was handed to Baldwin. The actor fired, killing cinematographer Halya Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
“Workplace safety in any and every industry in New Mexico is absolutely paramount,” Lujan Grisham said. “A workplace death is never acceptable and must compel an analysis of what can and should be done better.”Alec Baldwin Shooting: "No One Has Been Ruled Out," DA Says Of Charges; "No Footage Of The Actual Incident," Sheriff Says
She added, “My full expectation is that the film and television industry will, at the conclusion of the investigation into this tragic incident and once all the facts are in hand, bring forward comprehensive new safety protocols to ensure this kind of incident never, ever happens again.
“I think there are some safety issues that need to be addressed by the industry and possibly the state of New Mexico,” he said. “But I will leave that up to the industry and the state to determine what that needs to be.”Last week, California State Sen. Dave Cortese said that he plans to introduce legislation to ban live ammunition and guns capable of firing live ammunition from film sets in California.
Seems like the safety protocols were there. They just didn’t follow them.
